#### Diameter of the ball tip

(This item pertains to the Edit Probe Data dialog box. You can open this dialog box with the Edit button on the Probe Utilities dialog box, accessible through Insert | Hardware Definition | Probe.)

This box contains the diameter of the tip.

The diameter for probes on non-portable machines may vary with the current part temperature if you mark the Temperature compensation enabled check box inside of the Temperature Compensation dialog box and choose a compensation method where PC-DMIS does the part compensation rather than the machine controller. The Temperature Compensation dialog box is accessible by pressing F9 on a TEMPCOMP command. See "Temperature Compensation Enabled" under "Compensating for Temperature" in the "Setting Your Preferences" chapter.
